Compensation Survey Help

Major Metropolitan Areas

NBAA’s Compensation Survey includes results presented for those employees located within major metropolitan areas and those located outside of major metropolitan areas. Typically salaries are higher for employees located within major metropolitan areas.

NBAA’s Compensation Survey uses U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) to define these major metropolitan areas, selecting the top 53 CBSAs, which each have an estimated population of at least 1,000,000.

Each compensation submission is matched to the appropriate region based upon the individual employee’s ZIP code.
